One of the weirder moments of Detroit - Windsor youth was seeing all these stars, including Boy George, say “bless you boys”. They hooked them all in as they passed thru Detroit I guess. youtu.be/DNPnb4EiJcc?...

Do you remember in April 2024 when there was INSANE footage of two cavalry horses that had spooked, thrown their riders and were GALLOPING through London covered in blood? Well, both horses were caught and made a full recovery and the one of the left, Vida, an old boy, has just been retired.
